Black Educational Farm Program
We would like to develop a Black Educational Farm program in collaboration with the Umoja Center for Pan African Student Excellence at the Bayside Park Farm. The Black Educational Farm program has 3 goals: 1. To teach and develop farming skills with Black students 2. To develop a sense of belonging in the local community 3. Facilitate discussions and learning that center Black experiences, knowledge and challenges pertaining to sustainability and land.
CCAT Chickens
This project allocated $10,000 to have CCAT raise live chickens on campus. This project's purpose is to allow students at Cal Poly Humboldt have the opportunity to learn about food waste, sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology and livestock care. CCAT will obtain food waste on campus and use it as food for the chickens, then use manure produced to create compost for further agricultural projects.
